Blasphemy
Chapter 9: Transactions
Under the light of the Golden Lion, almost everyone would be dim. Not only because of his sun-god-like appearance, prominent background, and great strength, but also because of his king-like demeanor, like the spring breeze and rain, it breaks people's hearts.
A black flame was burning behind Ofirok. Not even the Golden Lion's light could be hidden. The face within the flame was beautiful and haughty, making one not dare to look at it, but it was etched into the heart. A few aristocratic bastards glanced at once, then hurriedly looked the other way as if their eyes were burning by black flames. The black mage's robe could not hide his incomparable style. His slender legs and narrow waist are voluptuous.
Roger, Lance, Franco, and Ed sat down a little awkwardly. The sudden arrival of the Golden Lion was truly shocking. Some hurriedly invited Ofirok to sit down and asked someone to bring him the best drink.
The Golden Lion sipped tea, his leisurely movements were perfect. Guard Richard opened a small pocket and poured dozens of small gems of various colors on the table in front of everyone.
Ofirok smiled and said, “I'm here this time to talk about the possibility to partner.” The room was silent for a moment. “These jewels are worth about 50,000 gold coins, this is my security deposit.”
Roger finally turned his gaze away from the gemstone and calmed his mind before saying, “Things you can't seem to do we can't do either.”
As soon as those words were thrown, Lance immediately smothered Roger's mouth. “Disregard him, just tell me what you want. I will do it even across the ocean.” Lance said excitedly, but his eyes were fixed on Elise.
Ofirok looked at the few noble bastards with interest. No one had ever dared to look at Elise like this. Lance is really fearless. A look of lust began to appear in the eyes of Lance and the others. Ofirok clearly felt a killing aura emanating from behind him.
“My cooperation is of course conditional.” Ofirok gave a gesture, someone behind him placed a large sheepskin map on the table. He pointed to a sign of the castle in the middle and said, “This is a small abandoned castle, the territory of my Bavarian Duchy that was recently occupied by a group of thieves. This castle is located in southwest Farburg, 415 miles away and less than 10 miles from there is the Devil's Forest. Although the geographical location is not important, there are two small towns and dozens of villages around there. I don't want to give up thousands of my people, so I want you to take back this castle. That 50,000 gold coins worth of jewelry is your initial cost. I don't care if you guys want to go alone or bring in a cavalry squad. Half year deadline.”
Ofirok went on to say, “After you have taken the castle, my father will give you the land, then you will become nobles who own the land. In addition, I will invest 100,000 gold coins in the War Hammer boutique to join. But I want half of his income,” he said ending with a slow chuckle.
Roger and his friends were excited when they heard it. They immediately gathered and began to study the map, and automatically did not research the ins and outs after a long time. Ofirok looked at them with a smile, but a guard behind him faintly showed a mocking look.
Ed suddenly lifted his head and asked, “We have no army, how can we defeat that group of thieves? Oh yeah, how many thieves are there, and is there any related information?”
Elise said coldly. “Now just remembered to ask for information?”
Ed blushed for a moment.
Ofirok replied calmly. “The group of thieves was actually an armed force of the Snow Silver Fox mercenary group from the Duchy of Ron, with about 500 people, the combat effectiveness was excellent. In the last half year of course there is a possibility if they add members.”
Roger pondered for a moment, then asked, “Both those thieves and mercenaries should not dare with the Golden Lion. If you go there directly, you can scare them even if you go alone.”
The golden Lion smiled faintly and said, “This is just a small test. If you can do so, I will make you ministers or generals of the Duchy of Bavaria.”
Franco's pupils squinted straight away. “Bavarian Duchy?”
“Yes, Duchy of Bavaria.”
The atmosphere there declined and churned without a sound.
Ofirok swept over some of those noble bastards and said, “I have great admiration for the fight you guys did at the Oak Glove Shop, and I think you guys are talented sharpeners. Moreover, in such a short period of time, the Palu War boutique had been so prosperous. This certainly does not happen for no reason. Setting up a big country is like cooking a good side dish. From organizing countries to managing weapons, it all depends on the grasp of the heart of the person.”
He paused and continued, “Life is short, the signboard should use the best, so should women. Ordinary women there were many in this world, but how could they compare to beautiful women? If you can miss this little exam, the opportunity is right before your eyes. What do you think?”
The spirit of Roger and his friends is suddenly triggered.
Roger suddenly lifted his head and looked into the Golden Lion's eyes.even if the light pierced his eyes, he did not retreat. “I'll do it.” Roger said it word for word.
Franco sighed. “Aish, how can I let you die alone? I have to get your money after you die.”
“Playing all the beautiful women in the world is happiness!” Lance's excited. Envy filled the room.
Ed sat in a chair with an upright posture. Before he expressed his opinion, his chair already could not stand it first and broke. Ed smiled, embarrassed to say anything.
“Then I wait for good news from you.” Ofirok waved his hand and turned around.
Elise suddenly stopped and looked at the few noble bastards coldly. Some of the men immediately felt cold and shivering, then found that their bodies could not move. Elise smiled mockingly, black flames lit up, then the bodies of those few noble bastards shot up into the air. A cold voice sounded in their ears. “I don't know why Ofirok so admires you. Your current strength is nothing. The next few years can be as strong as what? And how dare you look at me like that!” Without hearing him cast a spell, a huge palm appeared in front of each of them, then slapped until they fell to the floor.
Elise turned around and left, black flames danced around as if still laughing at the four people who could not get up on that floor.
The men calmed down and looked at each other. Ed asked, “Roger, why did you agree to it so quickly?"
Roger blushed. “Ofirok is strong and is one of the great nobles in the alliance. Rarely does anyone like us. Usually where is there such a good opportunity?”
His friends feel the same way. As for the possibility of Ofirok betraying, Roger and the others did not care. Even if he betrays, the Duchy of Bavaria has a great chance of winning. After all, Ofirok's mother was the sister of the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, one of the three great nations.
“Maybe be a founding hero or something.” Lance, who was daydreaming, suddenly said. Everyone thinks the same.
By Kate ….
“It could be nice, could run away too the boy,” said Ed cynically.
"The more people we bring this time, the better. I think we should form a mercenary group in order to be officially explained,” Franco suggested. After some more consideration, they started acting separately.
Day after day passed, Roger and the others recruited troops and they were very happy. The Boutique of the War Hammers had earned over 20,000 gold coins in the past few months, plus 50,000 gold coins from Ofirok, they could already prepare a cavalry of as many as a hundred people. Openly or secretly, Roger had obtained thirty skilled mercenaries within a month. The mercenary group was already organized. They fussed over the name of the mercenary group and ended up using the name ‘Dragon and Beautiful Woman’ from the result of 4:1 votes. The one who was opposed was Franco the only noble who had an artistic taste among them. Unfortunately he was alone.
But what confused Roger was intelligence. So far, the number of leaders, abilities, and equipment of the thieves occupying the small castle is unclear. Even the terrain around there was less clear. It's not their fault. After all, Roger and co have just debuted, and they don't know where to start to get information. After the two scouts who were sent were lost in succession, they began to fidget. After discussing, they finally decided to take all the troops away lurking once again.
